24th May 2015, I've just started photographing the graveyard at St. Mary's Moston. Some sections of the graveyard are very over grown with brambles and are impossible to photograph at this time. A number of headstones have fallen over and their inscriptions cannot be read as they are face down. I'll continue to take photographs and will update this page when I've finished.

St. Mary's of Moston opened in 1869 and the first burial took place there in the 1870's.

In order to find out more information about a particular burial you can Contact the Church via their website.

If you spot a mistake on a memorial please contact the person who has management of the memorial not the vicar.

Parish of St. Mary's Moston 1869-1969
Mounting block
This stone, formerly belonging to Lightbowne Hall was placed here during our cententary year and is reputed to have been used by Oliver Cromwell during his stay at the Hall. It was presented to St. Mary's Church by the rector of St. Luke's. Lightbowne Hall now demolished was formerly St. Mary's Rectory from 1869-1910.

B. V. Tolhurst 1969

The above is from a plaque which is set into the top step of the mounting block i. e. steps used for mounting a horse (pictured), well it would be if the find a grave staff would accept the photograph (update they have now prevented me from adding any further photographs for the cemeteries bio page). If you would like a copy of the photograph of the mounting block please contact me.

A care home called Lightbowne Hall built in 2011 now stands on the site of the former Lightbowne Hall (formerly the rectory of St. Mary's Church). It's believed that Lightbowne Hall was demolished in 1936 when it was replaced by the Lightbowne pub.
